I watched that one as well, like you I had forgotten about it but it is good. I am sure it was based on actual events.

Have to say my favourite sea film is Jaws though, followed by the Guardian and then Titanic (only because that annoying character of Di Caprio's got offed in it)

When I read the title of this thread, The Perfect Storm was the first one that came to mind, so DITTO :D It was based on a true story and was absolutely brilliant, especially in Perth Cinema wi dolby surround sound etc. Scared the heck out o OH & me, but flippin brilliant !!

The Cruel Sea - World War 2 drama with the late, great Jack Hawkins is my all time favourite

Followed by Run Silent, Run Deep with Burt Lancaster and Clarke Gable

I too loved Jaws, as a great bit of Hollywood nonsense [lol] as well as the original Posiedon Adventure (1972) with Gene Hackman, which is always worth a watch

and more recently Master and Commander was a good romp.

For me it has to be Das Boot, you can virtually smell the stale cabbage and diesel whilst watching this film.

It's not sea but it's still water. The old film African Queen. Was it Lauren Becall? It's a romance.

Moby Dick is another personal fave and Pirates Of Carribean, Captain Jack...

The Special Edition (extended version) of the Abyss makes more sense of the underwater creatures bit. And I agree it is a good film.

Titanic for me.The ending was a bit of a giveaway though!
Only kidding Jaws with The Perfect Storm a close second.

Ma favourite comedy sea moment is the hermit crab getting offered to the seagulls in 'Finding Nemo'.:lol::lol:

One film that is a must see to all real film fans is the original "Nikita" ,a french film of such strength and realism that it leaves you as a film should,breathless and in awe ,there is a plastic hollywood remake(there always is)which is terrible.

Isn't Deep Blue Sea the one where Samuel L Jackson gets eaten by a shark half way through the film?

Must admit though, I'm a big fan of his and often watch a film just because he's in it. Vastly underrated actor who should have got an oscar long before Denzel Washington. Sam Jackson manages to play good guys, bad guys, tough guys, funny guys and tragic guys all convincingly. He can turn his talents to any type of role. Denzel Washington plays Denzel Washington all the time and personally I don't think he deserved the oscar, even though it was obviously a political decision that year.

Hopefully, in time, Samuel L Jackson will be recognised for the great actor he is and will win an oscar for his performance, and not simply because he's black and those who vote on the oscars decide it's time to award another black actor purely for political reasons. [disgust]

For a sea film, I like to see the Fin in that film.
